"Come to my office within three minutes."

In less than a minute, Irina jogged to the door.

Seeing Ichiro Ogure kneeling on the ground, Irina knew what had happened.

Already harboring a guilty conscience, she actually knelt down next to Ichiro Ogure.

Ichiro Ogure glanced at Irina, who glared back fiercely, giving him a look that said, "You've sold me out."

"Why did you two kneel down so quickly? Irina, why are you rebelling?"

Bai Miao stared at the two of them with great interest.

“I…I don’t think Emma can make decisions for you, and those captains who are like walking corpses make me want to vomit…most importantly, Noah’s Ark can’t be renamed.”

After Irina finished speaking, she nudged Ichiro Ogure with her elbow. Ogure paused for a second before continuing, "Yes... I, the Minister of Power, am the first to object to the name 'Endless Energy.' Our energy... is also at risk of running out."

"risk?"

"If the people on board are living too well... then energy production will be insufficient... You should understand..."

Ichiro Ogure answered honestly.

Irina interrupted, "Endless Energy, what were you thinking when you came up with this name?"

Rather than trying to evade the question, Bai Miao simply shook his head: "I don't remember everything either. I should have delegated some authority to Emma, ​​right?"

Seemingly recalling the scene of her rebellion being suppressed by a large number of monsters, a trace of fear appeared on Irina's face.

Emma smiled and replied, "Yes, it's precisely because of the permissions you gave me that I was able to send them back."

"We almost let them run out of the area they were responsible for."

"Those things... are anomalies, right?"

Bai Miao's question received an affirmative answer.

"Yes, as long as the ministers successfully handle the anomaly you discovered, the Endless Energy's energy can be replenished."

Irina picked up the conversation, saying in a sinister tone, "If you don't detect anything unusual, then you will become the energy source for that day."

Bai Miao then remembered that Irina and the white figure were the people he had the most contact with.

"You've seen that shadow?"

Irina nodded somewhat reluctantly: "Why did you leave such a thing behind? It takes pleasure in torturing and killing you, and it has no feelings whatsoever. It's like a pure killing machine, whose daily task is to torture you in different ways."

Have you ever fought him? What did you think of his strength?

"He... is very strong. I am no match for him. He has a black chain with gold trim and a pillar of the same color in his hand. These two things contain a power that I cannot understand."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Bai Miao had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on.

This white shadow is really strange.

The ethereal figure used props of a similar color.

Bai Miao still vividly remembers that ethereal and powerful aura.

Before finding Kaguya, Bai Miao lacked the confidence to confront that white figure.

Kaguya serves as a kind of insurance; even if he is killed, he can be resurrected with Kaguya's help.

This is a risk I have to take.

There's a reason why Shi Yan and Holke weren't contacted.

It's highly unlikely that Shi Yan's time rewinding would affect Bai Ying, who naturally understood the relevant matters after rewinding once.

Whether Holker's calculations about the future can even include the White Shadow is uncontrollable.

With only thirty days to spare, Bai Miao naturally chose Kaguya, whom he could control.

At least Kaguya's recovery was genuinely effective.

"Okay... I roughly understand. You can go back to your work now."

Irina got up and left with a sigh of relief. Ichiro Ogure also planned to slip away, but was stopped by Shiramiao.

"Where are you going? It's your turn to do your duty!"

Ichiro Ogure sat down in his seat with a bitter face.

"Tell me about how the Ministry of Power operates. I want to understand how the ministers handle anomalies and how they convert those anomalies into energy. And what happens after I was killed, when I didn't detect any anomalies?"

Information that was impossible to obtain on the Endless Energy was now available to those who tried to explore the ship when it had just set sail and everyone still had faith in the captain.

Ichiro Ogure looked to Emma for help. Emma thought for a moment and said, "How about this... Captain, we'll tell you the secret of energy conversion after we find Kaguya, okay?"

Chapter 222 The Battle with the White Shadow

"Fine……"

Bai Miao knew he needed to provide some proof.

The current minister and secretary, while not as hostile to the captain, certainly do not fully trust him as if he were Noah.

After drifting at sea for nearly twenty days, Bai Miao arrived at the island where Kaguya was.

The Ulai civilization has not yet gone to the moon with Kaguya; instead, it is fighting against the ever-present threat of volcanic eruptions on this volcanic island.

With Kaguya around, the people of the Ulai civilization can recover quickly even if they are burned by fire.

As long as they are not directly swallowed by lava, there is still hope.

With his maxed-out geology skills, Bai Miao accurately predicted the timing of the volcanic eruption and chose the best time for the Endless Energy to dock.

Kaguya was somewhat at a loss when she saw Bai Miao.

"Captain... how come you got here so quickly? My ship... hasn't even started moving yet..."

Bai Miao saw the confusion and struggle in Kaguya's eyes.

She longed to return to the ship and to be back with the captain.

But she couldn't just abandon the entire civilization and leave them to fight the volcano alone.

“You’ll come aboard with me for a day or two; I need your help. After that, you can stay here.”

Seeing Kaguya's complicated expression, Bai Miao said again, "I'm also worried about letting you out alone. Consider this my visit. I'll come back for you when the time is right."

If Kaguya is kept on the ship, she will most likely continue to resurrect the captain who was killed at night.

When Kaguya stops restoring the captain, she's not far from breaking down.

Bai Miao couldn't even imagine what it would be like for Kaguya to have witnessed the captain being tortured and dismembered in different ways for over 30,000 years.

Kaguya asked, "What can I do to help you with?"

"Protect me so I don't die tonight."

"Oh? You should be safe on the ship."

"Don't ask, just tell me if you can do it?"

"no problem!"

Kaguya's departure did not become widely known in the Ulai civilization. After informing the chiefs and priests of her tribe that she would be resting for three days, Kaguya returned to the Endless Energy Ship with Bai Miao.

Seeing Kaguya board the ship, the other ministers also had rather complicated feelings.

They were unsure whether they should welcome Kaguya aboard.

Because they knew that Kaguya's return this time was not a complete one, but rather that the captain needed Kaguya's power, and that Kaguya would return after the incident was resolved.

"It's been over a hundred years since we last met, let's say hello."

Bai Miao encouraged Kaguya to take the initiative to talk to the ministers.

To everyone's surprise, Kaguya shook her head: "No need, Captain, my mission is not yet complete, and I don't know what to say to them now..."

Kaguya thought this way, and the other ministers were equally unable to muster the courage to step forward.

Emma, ​​on the other hand, curiously observed the older sister who had disembarked before she was even born.

Kaguya noticed Emma's gaze and looked at Bai Miao: "Captain... this is..."

"Yes, she is the captain's secretary, Emma."

"Emma... what a beautiful name."

The three walked straight towards the captain's cabin. Seeing the shrewd and capable Emma, ​​Kaguya's face gradually showed a smile.

With Kaguya's protection, Bai Miao finally felt more confident facing the white shadow.

Emma was very curious and asked Kaguya about the captain. Emma had no recollection of the captain before she was created.

Kaguya knew exactly what to say, only telling Emma what she felt was appropriate to say.

As they spent more time together, the two gradually became familiar with each other.

Bai Miao waited alone in his room for night to fall.

Interacting with Kaguya too much now will only make her more confused.

At 10 p.m., under Kaguya's tense gaze, Bai Miao walked into the monitoring room.

At midnight that night, four unusual phenomena suddenly appeared.

After noticing the anomaly, Bai Miao left the monitoring room and went to the captain's cabin lobby to wait for Bai Ying's arrival.

Kaguya, along with Emma, ​​went to other floors at Bai Miao's request to avoid being accidentally injured.

As long as Kaguya gets on the ship, she can prolong Bai Miao's life.

Preventing Baiying from seeing Kaguya could also give him some misjudgments.

"Hmm...it feels like it's been ages since I've seen this...let me see which unlucky guy it is this time?"

The way the white figure appeared was beyond Bai Miao's expectations.

He seemed to materialize out of thin air from the captain's cabin.

First, it was a small ball of white light, which then grew larger and larger, eventually transforming into a human shape.
